Abstract: A fryer apparatus includes a selectively closeable frypot to alternate a mechanism of operation between an open frying platform and a pressure frying platform. The selectively closeable frypot includes a cover with a locking mechanism disposed within the cover that is actuated by rotation of a handle such that the footprint of the selectively closeable frypot may be sized comparable with a typical open frypot to accommodate space constraints of limited service restaurants. The fryer apparatus may also include a pressure assist feature so that the selectively closeable frypot efficiently reaches a desired pressure for smaller batches of food product when used as a pressure frying platform.

Abstract: A multifunction six-way switch assembly having a plurality of sealed dome type or membrane switches disposed on a circuit board and arranged in pairs such that a single knob actuator may be slidably moved in opposite directions along a first axis for actuating either one of a first pair of membrane switches and slidably moved in opposite directions along a second perpendicular axis for actuating either one of a second and third pair of membrane switches in the same direction for controlling seat adjustment servomotors. Rotation of the single-knob actuator about a third axis normal to the first two axes results in a mutually opposite direction of actuation of the second and third pair of membrane switches. The six-way actuator has only one portion extending externally of the switch housing for attachment of the user knob.
